Engine oil level:
general description
Minimum oil level display  A
If the level is above the minimum 
level
The “oil level” message appears on the 
display,  accompanied  by  squares  indi -
cating  the  level.  These  squares  disap -
pear as the level drops and they are re-
placed by dashes.
To  advance  to  trip  computer  reading, 
press button 1 or 2 again. If the level is at the minimum
The  message  “adjust  oil  level”  or  “oil” 
and  the ©  warning  light  are  dis
-
played on the instrument panel.
It is vital to top up the oil as soon as 
possible.
The  display  only  warns  the 
driver if the oil level is at the 
minimum  level.  It  does  not 
inform the driver that the oil 
level  has  exceeded  the  maximum 
level  as  this  can  only  be  measured 
using a dipstick.
It  is  normal  for  an  engine  to  use  oil  for 
lubrication  and  cooling  of  moving  parts 
and  it  is  normal  to  top  up  the  level  be-
tween oil changes. 
However, contact an approved Dealer if 
more than 0.5 litres is being consumed 
every  600  miles  (1,000  km)  after  the 
running in period.
o il  change  frequency:  check  the  oil 
level from time to time and certainly 
before any long journey to avoid the 
risk of damaging your engine.
Reading the oil level
The oil level should be read with the ve-
hicle  on  level  ground,  after  the  engine 
has been switched off for some time.
t he  dipstick  must  be  used  to  read 
the  exact  oil  level  and  make  sure 
that the maximum level has not been 
exceeded  (risk  of  engine  damage). 
Refer to the following pages.
The  instrument  panel  display  only 
alerts the driver when the oil level is at 
its minimum.

exceeding the maximum 
engine oil level
The oil level should only be read with 
the dipstick as explained above.
If the oil level exceeds the maximum 
level,  do not start your vehicle and 
contact an approved Dealer.
Consult  your  approved  Dealer  at 
once  if  you  notice  an  abnormal  or 
repeated  drop  in  any  of  the  fluid 
levels.
The  engine  may  be  hot 
when  carrying  out  opera -
tions  in  close  proximity.  In 
addition, the engine cooling 
fan can come on at any moment.
Risk of injury.
Under  no  circumstances 
should  maximum  filling 
level  B   be  exceeded:  this 
could  damage  the  engine 
and the catalytic converter.
In  order  to  prevent  splashback,  it  is 
recommended that a funnel be used 
when topping up/filling with oil.

Reading the level using the 
dipstick
Engine switched off:
–  remove  the  dipstick  and  wipe  with  a 
clean, lint-free cloth;
–  push  the  dipstick  in  as  far  as  it  will 
go;
–  take out the dipstick again;
–  read  the  level:  it  should  never  fall 
below  minimum  mark  A   or  exceed 
maximum mark B.
Once the level has been read, push the 
dipstick in as far as it will go.

topping up/filling
The  vehicle  must  be  parked  on  level 
ground  and  the  engine  should  be  cold 
(for  instance,  before  the  engine  is 
started up for the first time in the day).

Refer to the Maintenance Document for 
your vehicle. – 
Unscrew cap 4;
–  top  up  the  level  (as  a  guide,  the  ca-
pacity between the minimum and the 
maximum reading on the dipstick 5 is 
1.5 litres, depending on the engine);
–  wait for approximately 10 minutes to 
allow the oil to flow into the engine;
–  check  the  level  using  dipstick  5   (as 
described above).
Once  the  operation  has  been  com -
pleted,  ensure  that  the  dipstick  is 
pushed  in  as  far  as  it  will  go  or  that 
the  “cap-type  dipstick”  is  completely 
screwed in.
Do  not  exceed  the  max  level  and 
do  not  forget  to  refit  cap 4  and  dip-
stick 5.

e ngine  oil  change:   if  you 
are  changing  the  oil  when 
the engine is hot, be careful 
not  to  scald  yourself  if  the 
oil overflows.
Consult  your  approved  Dealer  at 
once  if  you  notice  an  abnormal  or 
repeated  drop  in  any  of  the  fluid 
levels.
Never  run  the  engine  in  an 
enclosed  space  as  exhaust 
gases are poisonous.
Filling:   take  care  when 
topping  up  the  oil  that 
no  oil  drips  onto  engine 
components  -  risk  of  fire. 
Remember  to  refit  the  cap  securely 
as there is a risk of fire if oil splashes 
onto hot engine components.
The  engine  may  be  hot 
when  carrying  out  opera -
tions  in  close  proximity.  In 
addition, the engine cooling 
fan can come on at any moment.

Brake fluid level
This  should  be  checked  frequently, 
and  immediately  if  you  notice  even  the 
slightest loss in braking efficiency.
The level should be read with the engine 
switched off and on level ground. level 1
It  is  normal  for  the  level  to  drop  as  the 
brake  shoes  become  worn,  but  it  must 
never drop lower than the 
“MInI" warn-
ing line.
If you wish to check the disc and drum 
wear  yourself,  you  should  obtain  the 
document  explaining  the checking pro-
cedure  from  our  network  or  from  the 
manufacturer’s website. t
opping up
After any operation on the hydraulic cir-
cuit, a specialist must replace the fluid.
Only  use  fluids  approved  by  our 
Technical  Department  (and  taken  from 
a sealed container).
Replacement intervals
Refer to the Maintenance Document for 
your vehicle.

Coolant
The  level   when  cold   should  be  be -
tween the MINI and MAXI marks on the 
coolant reservoir  2.
Top  this  level  up  when  cold  before  it 
reaches the MINI mark.
The level should be read with the engine 
switched off and on level ground. Checking intervals
Check  the  coolant  level  regularly 
(very  severe  damage  is  likely  to  be 
caused  to  the  engine  if  it  runs  out  of 
coolant).
If the level needs to be topped up, only 
use products approved by our Technical 
Department which ensure:
– 
antifreeze protection;
–  anticorrosion  protection  of  the  cool -
ing system.
No  operations  should  be 
carried  out  on  the  cooling 
circuit  when  the  engine  is 
hot.
Risk of burns.

It  does  not  need  to  be  serviced;  never 
open cover 1 on the battery.
Battery
Handle the battery with care 
as it contains sulphuric acid, 
which  must  not  come  into 
contact with eyes or skin. If 
it does, wash the affected area with 
plenty  of  cold  water.  If  necessary, 
consult a doctor.
Ensure  that  naked  flames,  red  hot 
objects and sparks do not come into 
contact with the battery as there is a 
risk of explosion.
BA tteR y (1/2)
Depending  on  the  vehicle,  a  system 
continuously checks the battery charge 
status.
When the ignition is off, some consum-
ers  may  also  be  switched  off  (dipped 
beam  headlights,  radio,  ventilation, 
etc.).  On  the  instrument  panel,  the 
message “battery saving mode” or “batt 
save”  appears  when  they  are  switched 
off  .  When  the  level  is  extremely  low, 
the message “low battery, start engine” 
is displayed.
The  charge  status  of  the  battery  can 
decrease, especially if you use your ve-
hicle:
– for short journeys;
–  for driving in town;
–  when the temperature drops, etc.;
–  with  the  vehicle  stopped  and  the 
engine off.
The  engine  may  be  hot 
during  operations  in  close 
proximity.  In  addition,  the 
engine  cooling  fan  may 
start at any moment.
